Chapter 275 A Favor Xie Wensheng looked around and asked quietly, "Little brother, who is the most powerful in your village?" "What's the most amazing thing?" The kid didn't understand for a moment. "That is, who has gained the most from going into the mountains and has gone the farthest?" "Ah, my second uncle! My second uncle is the best! Every time he goes to the mountains, he brings back a lot of mountain products, which can be sold for a lot of money!" Xie Wensheng and Cheng Ming looked at each other. He asked again: "Which house is your second uncle's?" "It's there!" The little boy pointed to the front and saw a building with its own entrance and yard. Although it was simply painted white, it was already the tallest and best house in the village, and it even had a small yard. He is indeed the most powerful mountain man, and you can tell from his house. "Thanks, little brother! These are for you!" Xie Wensheng said, taking out a handful of lollipops from his pocket and stuffing them into the little boy's hands.
The little boy happily shared it with several playmates and went to play happily. Now that the target has been determined, we just have to wait for the boy's second uncle to come home so we can talk about the guide. It's just too early now. Cheng Ming and Xie Wensheng simply went back to the car and waited. We waited until around four or five in the afternoon when people began to come out of the mountains one after another, carrying large and small bags of mountain products and returning to the village. Among them, a middle-aged man in his fifties was the most eye-catching, because the others only had one medicine basket and at most a small bag. But this man not only had a much bigger herb than others, he also had two bags in his hands, each of which was bulging, and it was obvious that he had harvested a lot! Under the gazes of Cheng Ming and Xie Wensheng, he walked into the three-story building that the little boy had mentioned. "It seems that he is back, let's go." Xie Wensheng said. The two got out of the car and walked directly towards the building. When they arrived in front of the yard and passed through the low wall, they saw that the old man had put down the medicine basket, poured out all the herbs inside, and placed them on the ground to dry. Cheng Ming took a look at the fresh medicinal herbs on the ground and found that they were all pure wild medicinal herbs. Some were mushrooms and the like, but they were also valuable things. The two went to knock on the door. The old man put down the herbs in his hand and came over to open the door. He looked around at Cheng Ming and the other man and asked, "Are you okay?" "Hello, brother. My last name is Cheng. We heard that you are very familiar with Ai Lao Mountain?" Cheng Ming went straight to the point. The elder brother hesitated for a moment and said, "I can't say I'm familiar with the entire mountain range, but I often go to the nearby mountains." "We want to go to Ai Lao Mountain and we want to find someone familiar with the area to be our guide. Can you help us?" Hearing this, the elder brother's expression became more serious and he asked, "What are you doing at Ai Lao Mountain?"
In his opinion, there is nothing there, but recently many people have gone to Ailao Mountain, not to collect herbs or hunt. They just hunt for the purpose of "checking in" and "adventure". Zhong Zhi doesn't understand it anyway. "We want to find a medicinal herb called snake red flower." Cheng Ming told the truth. It would have been better if he hadn’t said anything. As soon as he heard the three words “snake red flower”, his face changed. He refused seriously: "I won't go, you go find someone else!" Cheng Ming and Xie Wensheng both thought that the old man was going to agree, but his expression suddenly changed. What was going on? "No, brother, listen to me, the guy next to me is a big boss, he can pay you a lot of money!" Xie Wensheng carried his brother out without hesitation, "Much more than what you make from collecting herbs!" However, this did not change my brother's mind. As he drove the two out of the yard, he warned them: "You'd better not go! That kind of place is not for people like you to go! Be careful!" Xie Wencheng came over. It turned out that the old man was worried about safety. He immediately said, "Brother, are you worried about safety? Don't worry, we have made sufficient preparations. We brought several compound bows, sabers, and electric batons. We can be said to be fine even if we encounter bears and wolves! We also prepared a bag of snake repellent powder and antidote." He is very confident. The same is true for Cheng Ming. These equipments are secondary. What’s more amazing is that Cheng Ming’s enhanced body has reached the limit of human beings! With a body like this, he would not be afraid of wild beasts like wolves even without weapons, not to mention that there are so many advanced weapons! And he wasn't alone. With such a combination, it shouldn't be a problem for them to protect themselves in the forest. After hearing this, Zhong Zhi obviously hesitated for a moment, but still insisted on his previous idea. "I'm not going, and I don't have time! You guys should leave here now!" He didn't seem very interested in the high reward that Xie Wensheng mentioned. Xie Du was anxious. This old man! Why is he so stubborn? Just as Xie Wensheng was about to leave, Cheng Ming, who had been staring at the herbs in the yard, suddenly asked, "Brother, where are you selling these Gelsemium elegans, Cornus officinalis, and Peach?" After hearing Cheng Ming accurately say the names of several medicinal herbs on the ground, Zhong Zhi knew that this young man was also in the same industry. Immediately, his attitude towards the two men softened a little, and he said, "Of course, we will sell it to the buyers in town." "What price did the buyer give you?" "Gelsemium elegans is 50 yuan per pound, Cornus officinalis is 70 yuan per pound, and Prunus persica is 180 yuan per pound, all dried." Zhong Zhi didn't know what he meant by asking this suddenly. Did he want to buy his herbs? Cheng Ming shook his head and said, "This price is ridiculously low." Zhong Zhi said: "What can we do? There are only a few buyers in town, and the prices are all agreed upon by them." "Then you can sell it out and don't sell it out." Cheng Ming suggested. "That's too troublesome. It will take a long time, and the prices in the nearby towns are not much different. There is no point in going far." Zhong Zhi said. After a pause, Cheng Ming asked, "Brother, do you know Yinhai Pharmaceutical?"
Yinhai Pharmaceutical? Zhong Zhi was stunned for a moment. Of course he knew it, but he didn't understand why this person mentioned this pharmaceutical company. "Then don't you know that Yinhai Pharmaceutical buys a lot of wild medicinal herbs? For example, this Gelsemium elegans, they sell it for more than 500 per pound, Cornus officinalis for more than 600, and Prunus mume for over a thousand! Wouldn't it be better for you to sell it to them?" Zhong Zhi was a little surprised. Is the price offered by Yinhai so high? But he smiled bitterly. "I have no connections or background, how can I do business with such a big company?" In his opinion, aren’t all companies that can trade with Yinhai Pharmaceutical large companies of similar size? Big companies and individuals trading? It sounds magical. After hearing this, Xie Wensheng, who was standing by, finally understood what Cheng Ming wanted to say. He said on behalf of Cheng Ming: "No, Yinhai Pharmaceutical has always welcomed individual herbalists to trade pure wild medicinal materials with them! We will give you the contact information of their buyers later." Hearing this, Zhong Zhi had a complicated expression. Compared to his initial cold attitude towards the two, his attitude now softened a lot. Because if he could really trade directly with Yinhai, it would be of great benefit not only to Zhong Zhi, but also to the entire village! These two people did their village a huge favor!
